Contrary to popular rumors, Ugg Records is not affiliated with the boots from down under, nor was it named after president, Steve Cook’s face. Ugg Records was started in 2006 in Orlando, Florida to develop and give a platform to gospel-centric bands rising up in the Sovereign Grace Ministries family of churches. Ugg stands for “Underground Grace” the label’s “full name.” Read More

Brian "Head" Welch Speaking At Cornerstone
On Saturday, July 5th Brian “Head” Welch, formerly of the mega rock band Korn, will share his journey to faith, how he found God, quit the band, kicked drugs, and lived to tell his story. He will be speaking at Breakaway at 10:30 a.m. and on Main Stage at 7:50 p.m.
“The enthusiasm from Korn’s early days was gone. I just sat there in so much dark depression . . . How did I get here? . . . Why is my life such a nightmare? . . . It felt like I was under a curse, honestly. I was stuck And it didn’t look like I was ever going to get out.” –Brian “Head” Welch
